as soon as a seedling breaks the surface of the medium, you want to give it light. i start mine under t-5's about 18" away. i'll move the light closer in a couple days. as mentioned, you need to make sure they stay within an acceptable temp. range too. you can put them under 24/0, 18/6, 16/8 for veg.
never really noticed a different between there being light or no light...
wrapping them up in a wet paper towel and put it in a ziplock bag and check them 36 hours later has always worked regardless of there being light or not
